Aimee nc the Gran d.

"Mam'zelle" was presented at the
Grand last night, to an extremely good
house. by Aimee and her Comedy Com
pany. There are many novel features
presented in the details of a common
enough plot. But the success of the
piece has no connection with the mat.
Ter of which it is composed. All de.
pends on the manner of doing it, and
the frequent and enthusiastic applause
with which the fun was received would
indicate that the presentation is in q
popular vein. The star has been seen
time and time again by play-goers,
who are therefore familiar with her truly
artistic methods and comedy. Time
has dealt very gently with this active
little woman since her last visit to the
coast. She is supported by q clever
company. of whom Burns, 'the Snub-
bed Husband" and Chisnell. "the
Prosperous Manager" are certainly
chiefs. Jennie Williams, the "domes-
tic who is ambitious" is very pretty
young lady with good deal of laugh
in her acting. She is by no means a
small part Of theattraction. "Mam'zelle'
holds the boards tonight. It is sue
ceeded by Divorsons tomorrow.

VERONA BATDyviN.
ssLucky's" WhilOm Assailant Ar.
rested for Insanity.

CHICAGO, January l0.-Sometime ago
''Lucky" Baldwin, the well.known
horse.racer, while stopping in San Fran
cisco, was shot at by a woman who
claimed to be his wife. Though the
bullet missed Baldwin he was badly
scared. Atm time since has he been
free from fear that second bullet, bet.
ter aimed, would be fired at him by
the scorned woman. Baldwin will un.
doubtedly feel easier when he learns
that the woman who endeavored to put
a stop to his racing career was last night
arrested and locked up at the Armory
on suspicion that she Is not of sound
mind. The woman gave her name as
Alice Baldwin, and her age as twenty.
six years. She stated that since the
affair in California she has had hard
time, having spent much of her time
working on and editing an Iowa weekly.
Some time ago she caused the arrest of
a servant in the house where she had
boarded, claiming the domestic had
robbed her of quantity of clothing.
During the trial Miss Baldwin acted in
such strange manner that when cou-
pied with Other queer doings of hers,
strong doubts were entertained of her
sanity. This eliminated in her arrest
Saturday night.

Our Stgnni Serytcs Cut Off.

SAN FRANcIsCo, January lO.-A tele'
gram was published here to-day from
Washington stating that Gen. Hazen
has cut off the Los Angeles Signal Serv-
ice bureau from the receipt of tele.
graphic weather reports from Washing
ton on the ground that he has no money
to keep up the service. Senator Will
liams and Representative Markham
called on Gen. Hazen to protest against
this. Hazen gave no definite response,
but urged that if the appropriations for
the Signal Service for the next fiscal
year could be increased the special serv.
ice to Los Angeles would be restored.
This will not in any way interfere with
the weather reports now being tele-
graphed to Los Angeles from the Signal
Service in this city and by the Assoclat-
ed press.

The Tulare Excursion. .

Next Monday, the 18th there will be
grand excursion from this city to
Tulare, the banner wheat county of the
State. The excursion is under the
auspices of the immigration Society of
Tulare county and Mr.. E. O. Miller
is here representing that society. Tulare
is spendid county for farming, has
plenty of wood and water and rich
lands are cheap. Any one will be we'll
repaid by visit to Tulars, and the fare
for the round trip is only $3.50. 1t is
well worth that sum to travel over the
country with General Miller and listen
to him as in soft, dulcet tones and the
most graphic language, he paints the
advantages of his favored section. The
General is free from guile and is that
rara agis, real estate man who con.
fines himself strictly to the truth. The
excursion train leaves the 8. P. depot at
ii O'Clock next Monday morning.

The Cotton M urderer.

There was rumor on Sunday night
that the Cotton murderer, Springer. had
been captured at Oceanside by the Con.
stable of that burg, and that Sheriff
Cole had gone out there to bring him
back to San Bernardino. kilograms
were sent from Sheriff Kays' office in.
quiring into the truth of the report re-
manned unanswered. From party who
came from Cotton last evening it was
learned that man had be arrested at
Ocsanside, but that he turned out to be
the wrong person. Other reports say
that some one was arrested in another
place, and that he may turn out to be
springer. Nothing positive can be
learned, though it is confidently asserted
that the officers have the right trail and
will bring the murderer to Justice.

SURPLUS WHEAT.
The Large amount ON Hand at
the Present Time.


SAN Francisco, January l0.-The
Produce Exchange finished to-day taking
stock of the wheat on hand on January
lst in the State and aboard vessels in the
harbor. The official figures will not be
published till tomorrow, but they were
obtained tonight, through private
sources. The stock on hand is 400, 600
tons. Required for consumption, seed,
carry over and shipments to Pacific
ocean points, 10000 tons; balance
available for shipment to Europe, 250.-
600 tons. equal to 100000 bushels.
These figures corroborate estimates lately
made. During the first six months OF
last year California sent Europe 402, 600
tons of wheat, being 60 per cent. more
than the actual quantity at present in
the state for export to Europe. The
present season so far has been very dry.
As this year is an ''of' year, due to a
smaller amount of summer following
done in the even years, the next sea-
sons surplus is likely to be small with
only small carry over to add to it.
